FAQs
Does the Milestone Double Flocked Airbed come with a pump?
No, the airbed does not include an electric or manual pump. This must be purchased separately.
What are the dimensions of the airbed?
The airbed measures approximately 191cm (Length) x 137cm (Width) x 22cm (Height).
Can I use this airbed on uneven ground?
While the weatherproof material offers some protection, it is best to place the airbed on a flat, clear surface free of sharp objects to prevent punctures.
How do I clean the flocked surface?
The flocked surface can be cleaned using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water.
Is the airbed suitable for continuous use?
The airbed is designed for temporary sleeping arrangements like camping or guest use. For daily, long-term use, a more permanent mattress is recommended.
What should I do if I get a small puncture?
The airbed includes a repair patch. Clean and dry the area around the puncture, apply the patch according to its instructions, and allow it to cure fully before inflating.
How quickly can it be inflated or deflated?
With a suitable pump, the built-in safety valve allows for inflation and deflation in approximately one minute.
Troubleshooting
Airbed will not inflate
Ensure the safety valve is fully closed. Check that the pump nozzle is securely fitted to the valve. Verify the pump is functioning correctly.
Airbed is losing air overnight
Check the safety valve for a secure seal. Inspect the entire surface for small punctures and use the provided repair patch if found. Ensure the airbed is not placed near sharp objects or heat sources.
Flocked surface feels damp or sticky
This can occur due to condensation. Ensure good ventilation around the airbed. Allow the airbed to air out completely after use and before storage. Clean gently with a damp cloth if necessary.
Difficulty folding for storage
Ensure all air is expelled from the mattress before attempting to fold. Rolling from the valve end can help remove remaining air and achieve a more compact fold.
